Diseño de un vehículo aéreo no tripulado (uav) con sistema de propulsión eléctrico para despegue y aterrizaje vertical (vtol) : Evaluación técnica-económica de sistemas de propulsión eléctrica para un uav tipo vtol.

Abstract

In the continuous quest to improve the efficiency and performance of Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) UAV systems, a comparative analysis of existing configurations such as Tilt-wing, Tail-sitter, and Tilt-rotor is essential. Aspects such as power, energy consumption, efficiency and associated costs play a crucial role in identifying the optimal configuration that strikes a balance between operational performance and economic sustainability. In this context, in addition to considering technical and economic parameters, the evaluation of specific components such as engines, propellers, ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) and batteries of each of the above-mentioned configurations is deepened by weighting and correlation matrices between the detailed components. In addition, detailed graphs depicting the various metrics of VTOL propulsion systems are examined, providing a comprehensive view that allows informed decisions to be made in the design and implementation of these innovative technologies. With this analytical approach, the performance and feasibility of each option is determined ensuring the selection of an optimal configuration that meets required parameters.
